Following potential 2013 draftees

Tim Hardaway up to #23, right next to Bullock. Hmm.

I didn't think I'd ever see a mock draft where Pierre Jackson was higher than Archie Goodwin.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I don't think Minnesota will take Shabazz. Having Derrick Williams and Shabbaz on the floor together sounds like a terrible idea.

Just curious.. why?

I just don't like Hardaway..

Agree on your 2nd point.. but I do understand it. I do think Archie should definitely be considered a sleeper pick, though. A couple of tweaks and he's a lottery guy.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I would not take Larkin at #14 either.
Maybe at #21 depending on who Jazz took at #14 and who's left at #21.

Not sure why I found this so funny. Yeah, I am..

At some point there may come a time when someone needs to make a pass.

Schroeder is rumored to have a promise from Boston at 16. Does this change the FOs thinking?

I think this is one of the strongest drafts for SGs in a few years. -- dipo, KCP, Franklin, Crabbe, Karasev, Hardaway Jr., Rice Jr., etc. It just pushes Goodwin down the list if he's perceived to have question marks. I think Hardaway in particular is stealing some of his thunder. Both are similar physically and are athletic slashing guards, but Hardaway is a bit more polished.

I'll say this about Goodwin: he has a fire in his eyes that I don't think I've seen since Michael Jordan. He wants to tear this league apart, and he's got the tools to do it. He knows it too. He could be like Harden + a potent mid-range game.

Oh, gotcha. Thought you were talking attitude problems.

That rumor was denied by Schroeder and his agent. However, Giannis is supposed to have 2 promises, one is believed to be Atlanta. Danny Ainge also flew to Greece to see him. That's a long flight.

I doubt the Jazz FO is overly persuaded by rumors.

I meant more of are they hoping to get him at 21 and therefore looking at non PGs with 14. Just trying to get somewhat involved with the names before the draft.

.. and Ledo (who I have liked for years).

Yes, Goodwin has the required intensity/heart/drive/work ethic.. the 'will not be denied' mentality... he improves his decision-making (he will) and gets some arc under his shot (I'm not so sure) and he's a top 10 guy, easily. Though we could make similar statements about all these guys.
